Chicken Whole Leg Char Siew Pau

Chicken Whole Leg Char Siew Pau

Taken from ChatGPT 


SERVING 

19 pau (using my usual Pau Skin recipe) 

If you prefer thick skin pau, then this recipe actually can make 2 times my usual Pau Skin recipe (32 total) 


INGREDIENTS 

A. 鸡肉部分

去骨鸡腿肉 500g(整只鸡腿剁小丁,约 1 cm 大小)- 2 medium - big sized whole legs 

干冬菇 4–5 朵(泡软后切小丁)

洋葱 1/2 颗(切小粒,可不放,但会更香)


B. 调味酱汁

海鲜酱 2 tbsp

蚝油 1 tbsp

酱油(生抽) 1 tbsp

老抽 1/2 tsp(调色,不放也可以)

糖 1.5 tbsp(叉烧包要一点点甜味才像)

料酒(或绍兴酒)1 tbsp(没有可省略)

芝麻油 1 tsp

白胡椒 少许


C. 勾芡

玉米粉 1 tbsp

水 2 tbsp

> 🔥 勾芡非常重要!没有它馅会太湿,包子会破。

---

🍳 做法步骤(非常重要,跟着做不会失败)

1️⃣ 爆香配料

1. 热锅下 1 tbsp 油

2. 加入洋葱炒软

3. 加入冬菇丁炒香

2️⃣ 煸炒鸡腿肉

1. 加入鸡腿肉丁,开中火炒至表面变白、略微出油

2. 不需要炒到全熟,7 成就可以

3️⃣ 加入调味酱汁

把所有调味料加进去:

海鲜酱

生抽

蚝油

老抽

料酒

芝麻油

胡椒

开中小火 慢慢炒 2–3 分钟

让味道吸进鸡肉。

4️⃣ 勾芡收汁

倒入 玉米粉 + 水的芡汁

快速炒均匀。


馅料会开始变得:

✔ 稍微浓稠

✔ 黏稠但不流动

✔ 可以“包住”肉


如果感觉太干,可以加 1–2 tbsp 水。


5️⃣ 完全冷却后再包

馅料必须 100% 冷却(最好放冰箱 10 分钟)

这样包子不会破。

---

🌟 味道特点

海鲜酱带甜香、不会死甜

鸡腿肉比猪肉叉烧更软更嫩

冬菇提升香气像茶楼味道

甜度、咸度、香气都平衡

冷却后很好包,不会漏汁

CHAKOAY 油条

CHAKOAY

油条 

Adapted from 萨姐YouTube 



SERVING 

about 8-9 standard sized you too

INGREDIENTS 

Plain flour 300g

Baking soda 2g 

Baking powder 6g

Salt 3g

Small egg 1pc

Vegetable oil 15g

Cold water 150g

STEPS 

  1. Mix all the ingredients into a soft dough. Coat the dough ball with a layer of oil and kept aside covered with a lid for about half an hour (for gluten to relax and easy to manage the dough before frying).
  2. Heat up oil. When hand is above the oil, you should feel the heat and this timing is right to put in the youtiao.
  3. Dust some flour on dough to prevent over-stickiness. Flatten up dough into an oblong shape with about half inch thick. 
  4. Measure 2 fingers apart and cut up the dough. 
  5. Use a chopstick to dip in water and make a marking at the middle of the dough strip. Put another dough strip on top of it. Then, with a dry surface chopstick, make a middle marking line between the two dough strips. You tiao shape is formed. 
  6. Pull 2 ends and elongate the dough strips. Put in the heated oil. 
  7. IMPORTANT: After putting it in, count for about 7 seconds before you turn and fry the other side. I noticed this way will help the youtiao to expand to its fullest. Do not immediately turn front and back quickly after you put in the dough. 
  8. When it's golden brown, carry it up and let it cool before serving. 
Easy to make. Can be made a night earlier but make sure dough is thawed to room temperature completely before shaping and frying. Cold dough strips don't fry well. They won't expand.

Chicken - Prawn Siumai

CHICKEN PRAWN SIUMAI 

* Adapted from Facebook chicken meatball recipe


SERVING
1 pack of square wantan skin (bought from Lotus) 
~ approximately 30-50 pieces

INGREDIENTS
250g prawn flesh (500g with shell on) 
550g chicken breast meat (diced and kept partially frozen) 

60g iced cold water 
1 egg white 

Seasoning: 
12g salt
30g sugar 
6g fish seasoning powder
3g white pepper powder
3g baking soda 
25g tapioca flour 

2 rounds of sesame oil drizzle (after finish blending)

STEPS :
  1. Remove fats and skin on chicken. Remove shells on prawns.
  2. Dice the two types of meat and keep in the freezer for about 2 hours till partially frozen but still "breakable". You should feel at least 50% stiffness when you press the meat. 
  3. Mix in all the seasoning and ingredients. 
  4. Blend everything altogether using food processor/chopper. 
  5. Drizzle 2 rounds of sesame oil after everything is done. 
  6. Wrap siumai with store-bought wantan square wrapper.
  7. Steam / keep frozen for later. 
NOTES:
  1. Place wrapped siumai with some gap in between each other when kept frozen. Once frozen, you can put everything into a plastic bag to save storage. 
  2. Steam with some gap apart between each siumai as it will expand a little but goes back to its original size once cooled, for about 15 minutes/till cooked through (comes out with clean with a fork test).
  3. I didn't dice the prawns. Just the chicken breast meat. 
  4. The texture is soft as though there's fats but there isn't any. Also, it's bouncy, juicy and flavourful. Simply wonderful recipe for many years.

Homemade Siow Bak (Roasted Pork Belly) 自制烧肉

Homemade Siow Bak (Roasted Pork Belly)

自制烧肉 


INGREDIENTS
Pork belly (3 layers) 
 
MARINATE : 
1 teaspoon 5 spice powder 
1 teaspoon white pepper powder
1.5 teaspoon salt 

STEPS: 
  1. Clean the pork and its skin with knife.
  2. Boil pork in cold water on the stove for 10 minutes. 
  3. Remove the pork and any leftover hair on the skin with knife again. 
  4. Poke holes on the pork's skin using fork / tenderizer. 
  5. Mix all the marinating ingredients together and apply/massage around the pork meat only. 
  6. Pat dry the skin. Put pork in a container UNCOVERED. Keep in the fridge for 2-3 days.
  7. Remove from the fridge to let pork be in room temperature. 
  8. Pat dry the skin again with kitchen towel. Apply thin layer of oil on the skin. 
  9. Put in air fryer 160 DC for 45-55 min / till skin is properly crispy and cooked. 
  10. Cut and serve on plate. 
NOTE :
  • The reason to keep pork in the fridge is to dehydrate the pork skin with the help of the fridge. So, it is important not to cover it with a lid. 
  • It is important not to cut the pork too thin, otherwise it will dry up the meat during the roasting process. 
  • Do not discard oil produced while roasting. It is to keep the meat moist and the excess oil later can be used in cooking. 
  • No need to preheat air fryer in advanced. Just get the meat out 2-3 hours before air frying so that the meat isn't cold. 
  • Properly cooked siow bak will have crispy skin. If the skin is hard, it means the cooking time is insufficient.

Pau

Pau 

Basically, I used this recipe for any filling pau. The pau skin recipe is versatile and superb. 

BASIC PAU SKIN RECIPE: 
I got the recipe online but I couldn't remember the source 
INGREDIENTS 
500g low protein flour (pau flour)
6g yeast (I used 1 1/3 teaspoon if I lazy to measure)
100g sugar (I reduced to 80g) 
1 teaspoon of baking powder 
20g of corn oil (I used cooking oil; you can also use shortening)
260g warm water 
1 teaspoon salt

STEPS:
  1. Mix all ingredients except oil into the bread machine. 
  2. Knead for 15 minutes. 
  3. Pour in the oil and knead for another 15 minutes until you get a shiny smooth surface dough. 
  4. Shape the pau and fill in filling. 
  5. Let rise for 45 minutes.
  6. Boil water and place steam for 10 minutes (mung bean filling); 15 minutes (pork filling).
  7. Switch off the stove fire. Open a small slit to allow hot air to release slowly. Do not open the lid immediately or else your pau will collapse. After 2 minutes, remove the cover and pau from the steamer. Serve hot. 
NOTES:
  • When I made pork filling pau, the pau is still soft the next day. For mung bean filling, it is not that soft. You simply need to reheat the pau by steaming again the next day. The pau will be as soft as it was steamed the first time. 
Dough division: 

MUNG BEAN FILLING
  • This dough recipe yields 15 pau with mung bean filling. 
  • Each pau weighs 60g dough and 40g mung bean filling. 
  • This ratio gives the pau a nice and not-too-thick nor not-too-thin look and taste.
PORK FILLING
  • This dough recipe yields 12 pau with pork filling + egg. 
  • With the addition of 1/4 hard boiled egg, the skin isn't as thick as mung bean filling pau. The pau skin needs to be more actually as the pau thin will be quite thin.. but acceptable.

PORK FILLING RECIPE 
Original recipe taken from: Amanda Treats: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfDFiH-eY-A

INGREDIENTS
350g of fat+lean pork (minced and chopped) 
1 tablespoon soy sauce 
1 tablespoon shaoxing wine (I used ginger wine)
1/8 teaspoon salt 
1/4 teaspoon sugar (I used 1/2 teaspoon)
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 teaspoon potato starch (I used corn starch) 
few drops of dark soy caramel sauce (I think I used about 1/2 teaspoon) 
1 pinch white pepper (I think I shaked 3-4 times) 
1 teaspoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon spring onion (chopped) (1/3 a stalk)
1 teaspoon ginger (chopped finely) 
100 ml water 

STEPS:
  1. Mix all the ingredients together until it becomes slightly sticky. 
  2. Add 100ml water 3 times until the meat totally absorbs all the water. 
  3. I refrigerate mine overnight so that it is easier to work the next day (you don't have to; it can be used immediately according to the original recipe).
  4. I divided this recipe into 12 portions by first making a rough estimation of 1/4 portion. Each 1/4 portion another 1/3 portion. 
After mixing all the ingredients into a sticky meat mixture.

After adding 100 ml water into the meat mixture. 

.
.
.

1 kg of mung bean paste can be divided into 25 portions.
Each weighs 40g approximately. 
I refrigerate those I didn't finish using. 

Clean smooth dough after 30 minutes of kneading. 

After shaping the pau with filling. 


After steaming the pau.

Ready for makannnnnn... 
Soooooo yummy! 
It's really soft and YUMMM...!

The pau skin is too gooooood and fail-proof! 
I get white fluffy pau from this recipe. 
If you were to use normal wheat flour (tepung gandum), your pau will be yelloowish.
So, use pau flour or low protein flour. 
The result is satisfying. 

Everything about this recipe is good except it requires baking powder. 
I don't quite fancy using baking powder in my recipes but hmm..
 it helps to save a lot of money when you make your own pau at home. 

I used to make pau before this but the recipe is not as good as this.
The pau filling from Amanda Treats is just nice. 
Not too salty. 

This is how the mung bean filling pau looks like inside.

做法:糯米沥干水,热一汤匙的油爆香蒜米然后加入糯米炒一炒。再加入调味料炒2-3分钟即可。

3)汤汁

1汤匙(TBSPOON)耗油
1汤匙TBSPOON)麻油
2汤匙(TBSPOON)酱油
少许黑酱油
少许胡椒粉

做法:将刚才炒米的锅(不用洗),把调味料和水一起煮滚备用。(也可以把腌鸡肉剩下的汁一起煮滚)


最后最后最后-----〉把冬菇(浸过,切片;CL  TAN的食谱里没有这个)和 鸡肉铺在铁碗内再加入炒好的糯米。我有压平一下(因为我发现煮好后,那个SIZE有点涨一点点)。 然后,再把汤汁淋进米内(汤汁要改过米)。把已准备好的碗拿去蒸熟,大约50分钟(我本身只用了40分钟)。
